Signers of the Declaration of Independence

There were a total of 14 men who signed the Declaration of Independence from New England. Gary Boyd Roberts traced their ancestries for a column in the New England Nexus some 20 years and the column was reprinted in his book, Notable Kin, Volume One (1998). The names in parentheses are the families from which I descend as well, thus I'm distantly related to six of these 14 signers.
